No. 297 
Issue Date: 7-28-2010 
Effective Date: Immediately

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics is relieving air carriers of the burden of submitting the Traffic and Capacity Statistics portion of Schedule T-8 Line 7 through Line 13. The carriers will continue to submit the Operating Revenues and Expenses portion of the Schedule T-8 Line 1 through Line 6.

Carriers currently submit detailed monthly T-100 traffic reports. From these detailed reports BTS or any data user can construct the data that are on the Traffic and Capacity Statistics portion of Schedule T-8 because the monthly T-100 traffic reports are reported by service class and aircraft configuration which allows data users to identify all-cargo flights. The T-100 data are available on the BTS web site at: https://www.transtats.bts.gov/DataIndex.asp

If you have any questions, please e-mail them to OAI.eSubmit.support@dot.gov(link sends e-mail).This action was taken under authority delegated by 14 CFR Section 385.19(b).
